Melanie Walendowsky Baker Poems

Time to let go now -
the goodbyes have stopped.
Such futile words
that easily bend.
...

Happiness is fleeting
but you make me happy.
Happiness leaves
and Happy is sapping;
...

No anger you'll find
in me inside;
no anger to speak of
- my unlove has died.
...

the hollowness i feel
isn't quite hollow

sometimes it fills
...

why can't i let go
of what isn't me?

what would be left?
...

the pitfalls of sanity
are all that i find.

there's no time for goodbye
...

i'm lonely
but i don't know why
i miss you
but i don't know who you are
...

The possibility of proximity
So vague and so unreal
Begs for my attention
It doesn't matter what I feel.
...

Love is so elusive
and I can't even
see myself.
...

I don't want to need
just to end up bleeding.

I don't want to rely
...
